Caulk and door question
Two quick questions for all the experienced camper owners. I have a new to me 2003 Northstar truck camper. First, how can I tell if caulk is silicone or not? I found clear silicone on the camper and have removed it (what a chore). There is a gunky white caulk used by a previous owner which has a bit of give to it also. After reading all the posts I could find, my plan is to use Dicor lap sealant on the roof then Eternabond, then 3M 5200 on the sides. I read that some caulks don’t completely harden, so not sure if the white caulk is silicone or not, hence don’t know if I should caulk on top of it or not.
Second, there is a metal prong on the outside that is supposed to hold the door open and allow the screen to stay shut. The prong goes into a black rubber circle which holds it, however the rubber has deteriorated to the point it just allows the door to flap. I’d like to replace the old rubber, but don't have a clue what it's called to begin searching for a replacement- any ideas? I have tried to contact Northstar twice via their on line query tool with other issues, but didn’t receive a response from them either time. Thanks in advance for any suggestions!
